Bermuda Dunes

 

The majority of the Bermuda Dunes community and homes are clustered around the gorgeous 27-hole Bermuda Dunes Country Club, which gained notoriety for hosting The Bob Hope Classic for nearly 50 consecutive years and established the country club and community as a jewel of the desert. The golf course was built in 1958 and designed by the legendary Billy Bell, who is known for designing many other famous golf courses throughout Southern California and the Western United States. Bermuda Dunes Country Club is home to multi-million dollar homes (whose first owners included Hollywood royalty such as Clark Gable, Cary Grant, and Debbie Reynolds) as well as comfortable condominiums, and is a popular place for local residents to play a round, grab a bite, or socialize with friends.
